Re: Why is my Apex updating?

@EdwardDLuffy out of habit now I check to see if any apex dl is downloading. If it appears to be stuck, usually at 0%, I restart the xbox and this overcomes the problem.

@Koochi-Q they don't do predownloads on xbox??? 🥳

@Koochi-Q I've seen it advertised for some games on different platforms, but never a "preload" for Apex on xbox. Files may well be included that are not activated until a later time but that is not what I understand as a preload. A preload is advertised as a game or game update that can de downloaded and ready to go the second the game or update goes live, as against having to dl the update after the update going live. No? 😇

@OldTreeCreeperThat’s true, that’s the actual definition of preloading (as it’s usually mentioned for games that have yet to launch) and that’s why I stated that I’m not using the standard definition of preloading because I don’t know the actual term for having downloaded an update which does not only contain files that are immediately activated as well as lingering files for later.

It’ll likely be something with buffer or something. The principle is the same hence why I opted to use that term. The files that are pre-downloaded aren’t used tet but will kick into effect after a server update comes through at a later date or when downloading basically an ‘activation key’ at a later date so the game knows you have the right file.

Apex on xbox has biggest file I think at 70/80GB as of now (not home so can’t check). 

@hayhor because we are a very special cohort of players, known to the devs as "the senior moments" 😃

@hayhor no, I won it but didn't get the accepted solution??? The op accepted their own resolution 😃
